Horse Thieves Break Jail,

VALENTINE, Neb.. April 2.-LSpecial Tele.
gram to the BEE:l-Two nights ago James
Bohanan and Joel Arnold, two noted horse
and cattle thieves, escaped from Jail here.
Jailor Coombs was absent from the Jail about
forty minutes at 10 o'clock. When he re-
turned he noticed light in the roof. Dur.
Ing his absence an accOmplice had sawed a
hole through the roof, entered a wooden cell,
broken his way into the corridor, and then,
with false keys or an instrument, had opened
the locks OF the steel cage and released the
prisoners. They broke into the jailor's
room, took rifle and revolvers and left for
parts unknown. Bohanan Is the notorious
thief who was captured In Hastings a short
time since after 50 much trouble by Sheriff
Murphy, of Brown county. His escape
places at large one of the most expert and
daring scoundrels in the entire northwest
His conviction was assured as the most posi-
tive proof is existing of his guilt Up to this
time no clew has been found. Sheriff Con-
nelly Is making every effort for their re-
capture, and has offered 500 reward for the
capture of each.
